Running Errands related to the New House.

Yesterday, we were holed up at the lighting store(the merchant used by the builder for the lighting) for quite awhile attempting to choose lighting for the house and staying within the budget. We are allotted $2500 as our building allowance and with my taste, it was a challenge choosing light fixtures that I love while acknowledging the budget. I was determined not to go over budget, as lighting can be changed in the future. However, it was impossible to do so. We were still over budget at the end…

Baby Z was having a ball in the store; opening and closing cupboards, touching the fixtures, and using the store as his running playground. I think the store clerks were relieved when we finally left.

Today, I’m off to the Tile merchant. How is everyone? I hope your week is progressing beautifully and that it has been a productive one so far! I will be catching up with you all as soon as I am home long enough to do so. Have a wonderful day my lovely friends. XX

we spent far too much on lighting. and i don't even like what we picked now. what was i thinking?? i suspect we had far fewer options that what you were faced with, so i'm sure you've found something lovely. :)

Baby Z is so cute puttering about that store! I know how you feel about your lighting budget, the first chandelier I picked out for our carriage barn was more then $2500, the husband said NO! It isn't fair is it? But I managed to get really inexpensive fixtures that look great for my kitchen and then used the rest of that money for our barn but it still wasn't enough!

When I had to choose lighting for the house, it was agonizing! Spent so many hours looking upward at hanging lights, that my neck was killing me by the time it was over!Baby Z is getting big!!!He is such a cutie!

GOOD MORNING STACY! Oh dear, the little man is learning early to go shopping!! HE IS SO DARLING! And I certainly know how keeping within budget can be a challenge! BUT ISN'T IT FUN TO SHOP!!!!!! Oh, you must be so tickled, as myself. We are ALMOST DONE with our two rooms, and the last thing to get is our crystal chandelier. HAVE A BLAST! Anita
